I rejected Housefull 3, was not replaced: Sajid Khan

When director duo Sajid-Farhad stepped into Sajid Khan’s shoes to direct ‘Housefull 3’, it raised quite a few eyebrows. There were reports of a fallout between Sajid Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala.

Recently, Sajid Khan confessed that he regretted fighting with producer Sajid Nadiadwala, but is happy that they have patched up now. In 2012, the two had parted ways reportedly over creative differences. However, contrary to reports that Sajid Khan was replaced in ‘Housefull 3’, the director cleared the air by saying that he himself opted out of the film.

In a series of tweets, Sajid wrote that he regrets saying no to the project and he would love to be a part of the fourth part.

“Getting a lil fed up of a few misinformed media reports where they write ‘SAJID KHAN is replaced in housefull3’…my dear journo friends. ‘Replaced’ is when someone is removed..I said no to the film(a stupid decision) then as my best friend sajid nadiadwala n i were upset with. Each other..but by the time we patched up hf3 was already being directed by farhad sajid..so pls my media friends avoid using the word Replaced…unless ofcourse u wanna run me down(as is fashionable)…On record…I REGRET HAVING REFUSED HF3.as i missed the fun of shooting.With my friends akshay,riteish,abhishek and of course my bro sajid nadiadwala..i pray hf3 breaks all records so then we can make hf4 togethr.
